## Summary

Texts in which method, evidence, and representations of the world also reshape philosophical questions.

## Overview

Science is not presented here as one philosophical movement. Einstein’s texts show how scientific practice engages questions of method, representation, responsibility, and culture.

This page separates scientific results, philosophical commentary, and later uses. Connections to ancient concepts are proposed when sources support them, not from an attractive analogy alone.
